    I'm right-eyed and can shift without shifting.

    /Everybody needs an excuse not to drive a truck.

    I'm right handed, yet I still manage to steer with my left hand. In my opinion steering requires more coordination than operating the gear shift.

    In conclusion, trucks are already built for left handed people and all of us right handed individuals had to adapt to it.

    Agreed,, but only if he/she *really wants to*,, which is what I'm really doubting.

    Three possibilities here:
    1. O/P is on a left handed cigarette
    2. O/P is a troll
    3. O/P is a troll smoking a left handed cigarette
